Neighborhood Photo of the Day:

This photo is called the “Wonder Women of FOCCP” for the ladies that make up the Board and Committee heads in the all-volunteer group, Friends of Christopher Columbus Park. This all-volunteer group has become the model for “friends” groups in the city. Christopher Columbus Park is among the cleanest public parks in Boston, thanks to Joan Murphy, shown in the center receiving an award for her years of volunteer morning cleanings complete with rubber boots and a trashpicker. See more party photos from the recent FOCCP Casino Night fundraiser.

While the focus is on the Bridge of Flowers, the Garden Club of America has also awarded $10,000 to FOCCP to expand and irrigate the garden circle near the Marriott side of the park. Join FOCCP on Monday, 5pm, for the annual trellis lighting with NEMPAC and Boston Parks. See the flyer.

WONDER WOMEN, INDEED. How fortunate for the North End Waterfront community to have such dedicated individuals taking care of our beautiful Christopher Columbus Park.
This is a group that others in our community should emulate.
